The Better Sister, based on the book by Alafair Burke, premiered on Prime Video on May 29, 2025. It follows the investigation of the brutal murder of high profile lawyer Adam Macintosh (Corey Stoll) and the devastating impact it has on his family: wife Chloe (Jessica Biel), son Ethan (Maxwell Acee Donovan), and ex-wife, who also happens to be Chloe’s sister Nicky (Elizabeth Banks). While the police arrest Ethan for the crime, the truth is far more complicated. The eight-episode series explores themes of sibling rivalry, domestic violence, public perception versus private existence, and what it means to be an unreliable narrator. We touched base with Bobby Naderi, who played police officer Matt Bowen, one of the detectives investigating Adam’s murder. He discusses the role of generational trauma in the way his character relates to the others, especially in how it impacts the view of the father/son dynamics at play between Ethan and Adam, as well as the challenges of shooting a show with so many twists and turns and playing a character with a fascinating “duality”.
